who are the girls in the original bridge?
The original bridge goes: Mandy’s a pirate, and Mia weaves silk shrouds for fairies, And Deborah will pour you red wine pressed from sweet poisoned berries. Kate poses riddles, and Mary plays tricks, While Kaia builds towers from brambles and sticks… Mandy is a dear friend of mine who loves pirates, piratical things, and being pirate-y. She’s definitely a wicked girl, no question. Mia is the proprietress of Chimera Fancies, the handmade jewelry line that originally spawned the phrase “wicked girls.” Deborah is the one who suggested I write the song “Wicked Girls Saving Ourselves” in the first place. Kate is one of my best friends, and often acts as my unofficial PA. Mary lives in Alabama, and is one of the most beautifully wicked girls you’ve ever seen. Kaia is the daughter of one of my friends from high school, and she actually does build those towers (and is ecstatic to be in a song with Tinker Belle).
